So they may have more F seats than domestic aircraft, but don’t mistake that to assume you’ll have a better chance of an upgrade. They are out there for positioning, yes, but also often because they need the capacity for those that need hub-hub connections. So you may find, for example, they are connecting with a lot of international flights, and there are likely more folks traveling on premium international fares who will already be booked in these seats.
Thanks for the reply! Today UA977 departed with about 8 Polaris seats open but sounds like its just luck. I would ideally be looking to book one of these flights as a part of an itinerary between LAX/SFO and NYC.

I'll keep all of this in mind. Happy New Year!
